This mailing list is explicitly chartered as having a test-centric 
focus. To wit:

    The wtr-general mailing focusses on using Watir for testing web
    applications, but actually questions and discussions about any
    aspect of using Ruby for testing are welcome. We'll even tolerate
    the occassional bit of Perl. Postings for jobs using Watir are also
    welcome.

Questions about how to use Watir for non-testing purposes are not 
necessarily inappropriate for the list. However, suggestions that it is 
myopic to focus the conversation on testing are ill informed and unhelpful.

The premise of this list is that the members are interested in using 
Ruby for testing. Any one who has trouble accepting this should consider 
moving their conversation elsewhere, like perhaps to a new list that 
that focuses on using Watir for building web-scraping applications.
